[kevinuk81]

Wonder why Dragontown is at the bottom of Shoeys list?

[pitkin88]

Wonder why Dragontown is at the bottom of Shoeys list?

Dull plodding follow up to the very strong Brutal Planet.

[Spiner202]

Changes all the time, but for now:

Killer
Love It To Death
Welcome to My Nightmare
Brutal Planet
Hey Stoopid
Billion Dollar Babies
Welcome 2 My Nightmare
Raise Your Fist And Yell
Trash
Constrictor
Along Came A Spider

I enjoy them all to some degree, but there is a huge drop off after ACAS IMO.

[Shoesalesman]

Wonder why Dragontown is at the bottom of Shoeys list?

There's some merit in what pitkin88 says, with the exception of two or three really good songs, but one song drags this album down, down, waaaay down.
Come on, don't make me say it.

[kevinuk81]

I know what song you mean.

[evil syd]

I think "Dragontown" is underrated and to rate Constrictor as a better...never mind

[Shoesalesman]

I know what song you mean.

Ezrin ACG has always been top of the heap for me. Also, I have a great fondness for the era from FTF through SF.

[darkmenace]

1. Dada (whatever flaws cannot diminish its overall power)
2. Billion Dollar Babies
3. From the Inside
4. Killer
5. The Last Temptation
6. School's Out
7. Dirty Diamonds (my favorite solo non-concept album)
8. Brutal Planet
9. Love it to Death
10. Flush the Fashion
11. Trash

Strange as it may sound I'm not a big fan of Welcome to My Nightmare. I don't disagree that it's a very cool album, just not one of my favorites. On a hot summer day like today I'll throw in Trash for the bouncy sounds of Spark in the Dark, House of Fire, and Bed of Nails, especially if I'm feeling frisky.

Those are my top 11 with a falling off after that. Bottom three would be:

Constrictor
Along Came a Spider
Raise Your Fist and Yell

[rtbuck]

Killer
Billion Dollar Babies
Love it to Death
Welcome to my Nightmare
Muscle of Love
From the Inside
School's Out
Flush the Fashion
Easy Action
Dada

Brutal Planet
Pretties for You
Welcome 2 my Nightmare
Goes to Hell
Raise your Fist & Yell
Constrictor
Special Forces
Dirty Diamonds
Hey Stoopid
Lace & Whiskey

Along Came a Spider
Trash
Last Temptation
Dragontown
Zipper Catches Skin
Eyes of Alice Cooper

Constrictor was the beginning of the end for me as a hard core fan. That said, I would rather listen to that over Dragontown. A truly dull and depressing album. ACAS I cannot get through at all, just un listenable.



Worst in no particular order.

Goes To Hell
Lace and Whiskey
From The Inside
Dragontown
Constrictor
Raise Your Fist and Yell
WTMN2

Apart from I'll Bite Your Face Off If I never heard these albums again it would be too soon.

Thanks for all the responses. It is interesting to see everyone's preferences. Raise Your Fist and Yell seems to be one of the more polarizing albums. I personally like that album a lot and others do as well, but most fans have it either near the Top or near the bottom.

[recoop]

Top few

1. Billion Dollar Babies
2. LITD
3. Killer
4. Schools Out
